  • When is VIN made

    Getting ready To place a order for a momentum
    when is the VIN made when order is placed or when it is done being built off the line. Also if it gets Full Body Paint
    is it weighed when it comes back from paint for final data tag sticker on left front of RV

    When the unit gets scheduled, a VIN is assigned. We weigh the unit AFTER it is painted. After the unit is painted, we install the awnings, exterior lights and seal the unit. So it will be weighed after all of these items are installed on the unit.

      Just a comment . . . the data label the left front of the RV will show GVWR and other info. It will not show the actual weight of the finished RV. Grand Design does provide actual end-of-line ready to ship weight info that comes on a separate document with the RV. This will be reference as UVW (unloaded vehicle weight) and will not include propane or batteries.

        Rob - what numbers are you referencing not showing the actual RV weight ? The shipping document and the yellow sticker as noted on our 303 do show the 9202 lbs. UVW as noted below.

          When does scheduling happen?

            Hi Dan,

            I stand corrected! I never noticed (or forgot) the UVW on the RV label . . . I have always referenced the shipping document for this info.
            (Thanks for catching this)

              You aren't the only one that missed this. I didn't realize the actual UVW was on the sticker on the outside of the RV either.

                You will need to contact your dealer for this information.

                    Very kind of you to say that Dan but my name shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Rob.
